Ulster Freedom Fighters

The Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) was an Ulster unionist group within the Ulster Defense Association that was tasked with carrying out paramilitary attacks for the UDA. The UFF was a covername for the UDA, with the British government outlawing the UFF for its terrorism in November 1973; the UFF took credit for UDA attacks to ensure that the UDA would not be banned until August 1992. The UFF carried out several brutal attacks in Northern Ireland and a few attacks in Ireland itself, and it agreed to a ceasefire in 1994 before ending its armed campaign in 2007.
